Dating in Black & White: Keeping Relationships on Target

In a world where dating comes with many different emotions, methods, and opinions, it also comes with choices, decisions, and goals, which are all under your control. Social media and television have turned dating into a highly sexualized and overly complicated activity—a game of numbers. But it doesn't have to be.

When Adonis and Heather Lenzy met, they had no idea their journey would later serve as a roadmap for others. Adonis is a pastor and speaker, and Heather is a forensic scientist. Their lives, although polar opposite, shared similarities of relational mistakes and failures. Both wanting something different this time, they sought guidance. Through their dating process, they were able to establish values, principles, and practical tips that today have produced a happy, healthy marriage, such as:

— Sexual purity: You don't have to sleep together in order to be together.
—Accountability: Who's got your back?
—Expectations: What do you really want?
—Communication: Talking through the good, the bad, and the ugly.
—Having Fun: Dating should be fun! It's all up to you.

Their moral and biblical approach, mixed with practical steps, will create a different and refreshing view of your dating potential. No matter your past experiences or mistakes, it's still possible to have a successful dating relationship today.
